Python Basics – Your First Steps in Coding
In Quarter 2, you’ll dive into the exciting world of programming with Python! Using Tracy the Turtle, you’ll learn how to write code to create shapes, solve problems, and bring your ideas to life. You’ll explore key programming concepts like variables, loops, and decision-making, and practice debugging to fix errors in your programs. By the end of the quarter, you’ll be able to combine these skills to create your own unique Python projects, setting the stage for more advanced coding challenges in the future.
